Home learning & learning outside the classroom

Home learning

Students working independently on tasks is an implicit part of the teaching and learning process. Home learning either complements or develops the learning activity taking place in the classroom and as such is an essential part of the curriculum.

Students, parents and teachers work together in partnership to improve the student’s chances of success.

Further details are outlined in the school’s home learning policy available on the school’s website.

Learning outside the classroom

Throughout the school year a number of excursions are organised to support student learning and use the resources of our community where possible. For example, students might be off timetable for a guest speaker, performance, or workshop related to the curriculum, or students might travel off campus to areas like Strijp-S to engage in the Arts and Sciences. Our Service as Action and CAS programmes in particular encourage students to engage in a wide range of community service, sporting, and creative activities that take students to different areas around Eindhoven. All these activities are important components of the IB Programmes and students are expected to participate.

In addition, the school offers a number of overnight trips, excursions and activities throughout the year. Each year group has a dedicated activity week during the school year. These trips are an important moment for students to bond, and we expect all our students to participate. The school also offers optional trips for specific year groups, such as a ski and snowboard trip to Austria, cultural trip to  London, Economics trip to geneva and surfing camp in Portugal for an additional fee, These activities provide learning opportunities to develop skills, such as perseverance, resilience, caring, reliability, patience, risk-taking and team-work.

The school calendar is kept up to date with all events and activities. The organising staff member informs parents in advance with the details of the activities.
